What is the point!?!?!?!
Just quote the guy and state that you could run ~~~~ with changing the ~~~~.
People repeating the same frickin' set, just altering the slightest details, including grammar mistakes, does not help.

Nah seriously why are people complaining at this point; we're using a random number generator and it seems to be working. If there's some special event or something then maybe we could do a specific pokemon (say, a mew event, and then we do mew as the potw) but otherwise, it seems fine the way things are going now.

Despite sharing the same moves, EVs and nature a Choice Band and Choice Scarf Pokemon play completely differently.

You know i think to make the selection process more fair, you guys (sppf staff) should make a poll for it

A poll with other 300 options would definitely not work.
The max is 4, and then, SPPF Staff would have to choose what 4. And it will still not please people, so say that 30 people choose a Magikarp, 30 other people choose a Feebas, what will happen.
People will still complain about it.

use the rng to choose 2-10 poke the week before you would open for sets
then the winner(coin generator for ties) is the new potw
so this would take effect week 18 if you start it next week
just open a thread with a poll and lock posts for a week then announce the winner and let the sets start.......

however it leaves room for things like i dont know butterfree from being chosen early and taking up a slot for a highly used pokemon like excadril
it removes some of the bad choices without you literally pulling them....there are ~345 pokemon to cover...this way we can satisfy more people at once.....

No-one has complained so far(except from that guy that is begging for the Electric-Bug thing, I forgot its name).
That must mean that they prefer it this way, instead of Polls, because if you do Polls, the best Pokémon will be chosen first because the incredible amount of N00BS in this section will think:

I don't think voting should be used either. The way I see it, the Pokemon of the week is chosen at random and then users would either submit tactics they use with that specific Pokemon or try and find out new strategies that could be used. Somewhat like a small challenge to see what the best strategies the community can come up with?

I mean, sure everyone can come up with amazing strategies for the good Pokemon that would be voted in week after week, but when a not so good one finds its way in it gives the users a bit of a challenge to come up with the strategies.

DW Blaziken is banished in Smogon Tiers right? And yea, Blaziken in Ubers is too overwhelmed. Those he outspeeds, he can't kill, while they kill him in 1 hit. Those that outspeed him will also murder him. Besides, he would have that much turns to live...
